This guide provides step-by-step procedures for adding computers to your HPC cluster that are running the Windows operating system but are not managed by your cluster. These computers are added as workstation nodes, and you can use them to run cluster jobs.

This guide provides procedures and guidance for deploying HPC Pack in a configuration designed for high availability for applications based on service-oriented architecture (SOA). For this configuration, you configure the head node (specifically, a set of head node services) in a failover cluster. Then you can configure one or more WCF broker nodes (specifically, the HPCBroker service) in one or more separate failover clusters.
